Arcade Fire — Neighborhood 4 7 Kettles

[Verse 1] I am waiting 'til I don't know when 'Cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood Killing old folks, waking up babies just like we knew it would [Verse 2] All the neighbors are starting up a fire Burning all the old folks, the witches and the liars My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids But my heart keeps watching through the skin of my eyelids [Chorus 1] They say a watched pot won't ever boil Well I closed my eyes and nothing changed Just some water getting hotter in the flames [Verse 3] It's not a lover I want no more And it's not heaven I'm pining for But there's some spirit I used to know That's been drowned out by the radio! [Chorus 2] They say a watched pot won't ever boil You can't raise a baby on motor oil Just like a seed down in the soil, you've got to give it time
